Barack Obama may be the stupidest president the country has ever had to date.

Walter Cronkite is dead.

The state own media will no doubt go through the usual naval gazing and self-congratulatory melodrama about just how wonderful and necessary an establishment it is for the well being of society. They will reminisce about the glory that was and the most open ideological ...

Obama has worked hard for this and he has finally accomplished something. Since his election Obama has traveled the world denouncing the United States, trashing our bigoted, jingoistic history, apologizing profusely for our past sins (real or imagined) and chumming up to the worlds dictators, potentates and ...
